How little is tree cover of the world. And how majestic Africa is. Viva Africa! I liked seeing my beloved Kenya on the coffee bean belt. We have 30 acres of it on our farm. We do not drink it, we are tea drinkers. Compliments of the British influence as a former British colony for over 150 years. Educational. Thanks.

I think this is American, so it’s US dollars, which could currently be equal to $100 in AU dollars.

Australia's contactless limit on cards is $100 not $ 70, and has been for many years.
